    Matt was an amazing coach. To cut a long story short, I went from performing poorly in all interviews to getting two offers in a week.

    Highly recommend both him and the interview skills clinic itself.

      Two offers in a week, that’s excellent, nice to have options. I enjoyed working with you and whichever role you ultimately decide upon I know you will be successful. All the very best, Matt

    I was initially skeptical about the interview coaching classes but decided to give it a shot. Chista was the coach assigned to me and honestly, she was wonderful. She was patient, understood the problems I was facing, and guided me in the right direction. With her help, I was able to secure two job offers in leading construction consultancies.

    As I am a graduate, I haven’t had much experience of attending interviews. I was getting rejections in many of the interviews because I wasn’t able to identify the format that should be used to answer the interview questions. After the interview coaching sessions, I felt really confident attending the interviews.

    I would highly recommend interview skills clinic and Chista.

      What a kind review Mithra, thank you so much for taking the time to leave this. I really enjoyed working with you and learning about your considerable experience, despite only being a graduate, and it was great that you could demonstrate it all at your interview – particularly with the impressive presentation! You should be very proud of getting two offers with such prominent companies for very competitive roles, and I wish you every success as you embark on your new career. Please keep in touch and let me know how you get on. All the best, Chista

    Chista was an amazing interview coach and really helped to boost my confidence for my applications, as well as preparing me for the more difficult questions that I encountered.

    She was also a great help when it came to structuring my CV, and making it look more professional.

    I would highly recommend her as a coach.

      Many thanks for your kind review Rahul, and I was delighted to hear of your well-earned success in getting the summer vacation placement at such a great law firm – many congratulations! The competition for these schemes is fierce so you should be rightly proud of your achievement, and this will put you in a really strong position when you come to look for training contracts in due course. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed working with you during the application process and wish you the best for the future – please do keep in touch. All best wishes, Chista

    It was a right investment which helped me to land my dream job and I can’t thank Chista enough for that! She was very capable, efficient and caring who supported me till I was offered the role. I felt prepared prior to each interview thanks to her. I felt far more confidence than before her coaching session, and was able to deal with some of the toughest questions. Chista also gave me really good advice on my presentation that I used for my interview, which contributed hugely to securing the role. I would recommend Chista 100% for anyone who want to maximise the chance of getting the job you want, like it happened to me. Thank you, Chista!

    I really enjoyed working with Chista for my civil service interview. As my career to date is in a very different field I was quite apprehensive about the process but after two sessions with Chista I felt really prepared and was offered the role.

      Thanks very much for taking the time to write a review R.M, and well done again on being offered the role after your first interview! I really enjoyed hearing your examples, and you ably demonstrated how skills can be transferred across two entirely different careers. I wish you every success in the Civil Service, and hope that you enjoy your new role. Best wishes, Chista

    Chista was such a brilliant coach, she has helped me in two interviews now. This first interview was for the Civil Service. It was on a very tight time scale, but Chista was available at very short notice. She helped me structure my answers and helped to make them sound very professional and flow really smoothly. I got the Civil Service job!!!!!
    However, after some time, I came back to Chista for another interview. It was interview for a band 6 NHS role. Chista helped me prepare for a lot of very difficult questions, I had two sessions with her. I learnt from her how to quickly think of the right answer on the stop, whilst also following the STAR technique. I had excellent feedback from that interview that my answers covered all the competencies they were looking for. I thank Chista for her hard work and skills in helping me with this interview and would 100% recommend her as a coach. Thank you Chista.

      Thank you for such a kind review A.B, and it’s been a real pleasure working with you. You’ve got lots of great experiences and stories to share, and loads of passion and determination. You’ve also demonstrated that you have an excellent interview technique for both Civil Service and non-Civil Service interviews – what great feedback you’ve had from both! I know that you’ll be successful in whatever field you decide to pursue, and I wish you every happiness and success. Please do keep in touch, and I very much hope that our paths will cross again in the future.

    Although I had a tight timescale, Matthew made sure he had time for two sessions of face to face coaching prior to my interview. His advice was invaluable and he clearly knew the civil service success profiles inside out. I got the job and was very grateful for the help I received. Many thanks.

      I really enjoyed working with you at short notice to ensure you were ready for the Civil Service interview. The success profiles can be challenging especially because they demand slightly different skills and strengths across the grade structure. I’m really pleased you secured this new role and please keep in touch. I look forward to hearing of your continued success.

    Extremely professional service and support. I felt so confident to go through the interview after my practice sessions with Matthew. It was well worth it as I got the job.

      Thank you J, self confidence going into any interview is a core ingredient. For many it is one of the most difficult challenges to overcome. I am really pleased that you were able to approach the day with strong self belief which will have helped to carry you through and deliver powerful answers. I am so pleased that you have been offered the role, all the very best and please keep in touch. Matt

    Elizabeth helped me to prep for my interviews and overcome certain blocks that were preventing my success. Needless to say, after only a couple sessions, I ended up with my dream job. I recommend her without hesitation to anyone who needs to sharpen their interviewing skills, especially for academic positions.

    Having Matt for 2 interview sessions was so helpful to securing a civil service job. I would highly recommend him and if I go for another role I would definitely ask him to help with prep again. Thank you Matt

      Many thanks LB, I am very pleased that you have been offered a role in the Civil Service. The CS application and interview process can be bewildering, even to those who are already in a government department. I was delighted to share my knowledge and experience in preparation for the interview and it’s a well deserved result. Keep in touch, Matt
